If you're going to post that, then I'm going to post my list of historic Zionist quotes:
"We must expel Arabs and take their places."
-- David Ben-Gurion, Prime Minister of Israel, 1949-1954, 1955-1963 to the General Staff
"We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population."
-- David Ben-Gurion, Prime Minister of Israel, 1949-1954,1955-1963, to the General Staff.
"There has been Anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?"
-- Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp. 121-122.
"Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves ... politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves... The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country."
-- David Ben Gurion, Prime Minister of Israel, 1949-1954, 1955-1963
"There is no such thing as a Palestinian people... It is not as if we came and threw them out and took their country. They didn't exist."
-- Golda Meir, Prime Minister of Israel 1969 - 1974
Let me know when you're ready for Part 2.
